Ces Bons Autrichiens

Honoré Daumier, Charles Vernier · published 1859 · 1 vol: ill: 29 lithographs plus lithographic cover illustration ·  Accession ID  1980.45.349-378

This drawing features people taking shelter under large crinoline skirts, treating them as tents. The crinolines are exaggeratedly large, dominating the composition. Two figures are comfortably seated underneath. The setting appears outdoors, with grassy ground and distant trees. The style suggests a satirical commentary on societal or fashion trends. The drawing is detailed, with attention given to the fabric folds. The scene conveys a lighthearted and whimsical tone.

La Crinoline-Abri

Charles Vernier · 1848 · lithograph ·  Accession ID  2002.57.36

The image shows a man and a woman dancing. The man has sharp facial features, short hair, and wears a top hat, a fitted jacket, and pants with buttons. The woman has delicate features, tied-back hair with a hat, a blouse with a bow, and wide pants. Several men in top hats and formal wear stand in a semi-circle around them. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly a ballroom, with architectural elements and additional spectators.
